Coexistence
About the artwork: "This wall speaks about coexistence, not from a perspective of institutionalized solidarity, or an asymmetrical cut, a movement from top to bottom, but from understanding it as a basic duty for every human, based on empathy, on compassion, inherent to the fact of meeting people and generating a relationship of mutual giving and receiving" - Hyuro
About the artist: Tamara Djurovic with the artist name Hyuro was born in Argentina but lives in Spain. Her black-and-white paintings of people are on walls all over the world.

A Million Years Lost in a Moment
About the artwork: In Vegan Flava's painting, people are depicted stripped of their layers of identity. A description of the environmental disaster and the crisis we live with today. The artist: “People think that art is beautiful motifs, but that's the last thing we street artists think of. We want to touch people. Create thoughts in the person standing there. ”
About the artist: Born and raised in Trollhättan but now lives in Stockholm. “I see myself as a kind of urban artist and am interested in interacting with places through painting. In my art, I wrestle with my contemporaries and want to highlight a mutual existence of nature, animals and people. It is a kind of visual activism and a direct action painting. The narrative becomes poetic and melancholic. I usually paint skeletons in muted colors, mostly black, white and grayscale. I removed all layers of identity and landed in what we have in common. It's anyone or all of us at the same time. The process in my work is central. ”

Mural painting by Christina Lina and 3TTMAN
About the artwork: A colorful mural at the Oden shopping center, which was a collaboration between the two artists 3TTMAN and Christina Lina.
About the artists:
3TTMAN is a Spanish artist and a key figure in Madrid's urban art scene. 3TTMan, or Trois Têtes Man, has developed an aesthetic that combines punk attitude from the graffiti heritage - "doing what is required" with a style that shows the influence of popular science art. 3TTMAN paints on a variety of materials, from posters to concrete, blurs the line between arts and crafts and challenges prevailing perceptions of what is proper practice.
Christina Lina from the UK works with graffiti and mural painting but also experiments with ceramics, performance, printing and installation. Lina's works are always happy, at the same time as she hopes to disarm and create a certain chaos from which new opportunities can arise.
